Strain measurement at the knee ligament insertion sites [PDF]
We describe the modification of an existing method of ligament strain measurement at the knee joint in detail. At ten fresh joint specimens we used that technique where strain gauges are attached to the ligamentous insertions and origins.

Osseous femoral avulsion of the anterior cruciate ligament origin in an adult
Injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament are commonly encountered in clinical practice, and occur in a wide variety of settings, from sports-related injuries to polytrauma. Tears of the anterior cruciate ligament supersede osseous avulsion in the adult

Biological and Biomechanical Evaluation of the Ligament Advanced Reinforcement System (LARS AC) in a Sheep Model of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Replacement: A 3-Month and 12-Month Study [PDF]
PurposeThe purposes of this study were to assess tissue ingrowth within the Ligament Advanced Reinforcement System (LARS) artificial ligament (LARS AC; LARS, Arc sur Tille, France) and to study the biomechanical characteristics of the reconstructed knees

Morphometric parameters as risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament injuries: A MRI case-control study [PDF]
Background/Aim. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most frequently injured ligament of the knee, representing 50% of all knee injuries. The aim of this study was to determine the differences in the morphometry of knee injury patients ...

Persisting side-to-side differences in bone mineral content, but not in muscle strength and tendon stiffness after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction [PDF]
Tendon stiffness may be involved in limiting peak musculoskeletal forces and thus may constitute an upper limit for bone strength. The patellar tendon bone (PTB) graft, which is harvested from the patellar tendon during surgical reconstruction of the ...

Acute Primary Repair of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament With Anterolateral Ligament Augmentation [PDF]
Acute injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament are often associated with concurrent injuries to the structures of the anterolateral complex, specifically the anterolateral ligament. Some injury patterns of the anterior cruciate ligament involve tearing

Whole body kinematics and knee moments that occur during an overhead catch and landing task in sport [PDF]
Background: Athletes suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury tend to exhibit similar body postures that in sidestep cutting are associated with increased knee moments. This relationship, however, has not been investigated in landing.

Cross-professional differences in real-time assessment of ACL injury risk [PDF]
Simple visual inspection of movement is a potentially low cost method for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury screening and prevention. Although many professionals, athletes, and coaches utilize some form of visual inspection of movement/injury ...
